[BUG] Using docker-compose with Windows Containers and dockerfile_inline does not work (is ignored)

[sikhness]

Description

When I'm using docker-compose for Windows containers (specifically on Windows Server 2022), if I define a compose file that has dockerfile_inline set, it just seems to ignore it and throws the following error:

unable to prepare context: unable to evaluate symlinks in Dockerfile path: CreateFile C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Docker Config\Windows\Test\Dockerfile: The system cannot find the file specified.

Here is the example docker-compose file that I am using:

services:
  test:
    container_name: test
    image: test:latest
    build:
      dockerfile_inline: |
        FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/server:ltsc2022
        RUN powershell.exe
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - test
    hostname: test

networks:
  test:
    name: test

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a docker-compose.yml file with the contents from the description above.
2. Run docker-compose up -d
3. Error will be thrown as shown above from the description.

I wanted to make a note that even with the latest v2.29.1 version of docker compose, the issue is still happening with Windows Containers where dockerfile_inline just does not work.
